Pituitary Cells - Horse

The pituitary gland in horses is essential for regulating key functions such as growth, reproduction, stress response, and metabolism. It controls the release of important hormones like ACTH, FSH, LH, and GH, which affect everything from the horse's physical development to its ability to manage stress and reproduce. Disorders of the pituitary can significantly affect a horse's health, especially in older horses with conditions like Cushing’s disease (PPID).
